Agreed, but what's exciting about watching a sailplane thermal at 1500' to the uninitiated, or anyone? That's the perception. 3D power aerobatics close in, helicopters, and generally noisy stuff gets all the attention. But scale aerotowing on the otherhand, now that can get exciting, noisy tow planes, high speed inverted passes with a 6 meter, glider aerobatics finishing with a screaming high speed pass. Plus eye candy on the gound without compare. See http://www.quietflyer.com/videos/JRAero2004/index.html for video of the 2004 JR aerotow. Free, no $9.00 required. Or go fly there next June yourself. The AMA doesn't know what they are missing, and perhaps a suggestion might be in order. 2005 JR Aerotow event info; http://www.scalesoaring.net/2005%20JR%20Aero%20Tow%20Final.pdf just go do it. Soar that is... JD PS: Paul Naton might be video recording this event this June.
